The ‘everyday hero’ gene is found inside of everyone, everywhere. It is waiting for the right moment to be turned on. It is expressed in simple, ordinary actions of kindness, courage, and love. An everyday hero sacrifices for the greater good. A hero shows true empathy and compassion. Doing good feels good, and it is in our nature to do good things for others, sharing love. The everyday hero is all of us, will you join us? Let’s make the world a better place, together… The EVERYDAY HERO’s journey is […]

www.EverydayHeroes.Life is an initiative to bring out the Hero in everyone, everywhere, by activating the gene to do good. Barbara’s Dad was her first Hero, and a National Hero, in pre-Israel Palestine. He was the seed that sparked her interest in Heroes. When “Wallet Angels” returned her stolen wallet, EverydayHeroes was born. We all have the ability to be an Everyday Hero, because heroic and taking inspired action lives inside. EverydayHeroes is a place to share hope, and together, we can change the world.

Everyday Heroes of AUTISM: Families of kids with autism are true Everyday Heroes. We take communication for granted, not knowing what a challenge it is for these kids with autism and their Families. Thanks to organizations like AIM (Autism In Mind), parents and their kids get IBI (Intensive Behavioural Intervention) and gain coping skills. These treatments result in happier children who learn to express themselves to get their needs met. Hope is restored. We met these Families at Bean Around the World- Markham at their second annual Fundraiser for Autism. […]

Autism in Mind (AIM) facilitates communication between parents and their children using IBI treatment. Organizations like AIM are helping kids cope every day.

For most, pregnancies are joyful and relatively easy. For preemie mothers and their babies, it is a life and death experience. Our trailer previews a moment in the life of a mother to a premature baby in Sunnybrook’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Each day these babies face challenges just to breathe to stay alive. The mothers have to be strong despite these fears, and be thankful for their babies’ teeny tiny achievements.

Daniela reminds us that life itself is a miracle, not to be taken for granted. We see this miracle in her journey of having not one, but two beautiful preemie babies. The small babies’ arms fit into their father’s wedding band. Watch how the babies, their parents, doctors, and nurses are not courageous once; but TWICE. After hearing her story, you’ll be thankful and amazed at the same time, that two tiny babies can go through so much trauma before being a year old.

Alisse could not find a doctor that would take her on as a Preemie Mama of triplets until she found Sunnybrook’s multiples clinic for high risk mothers. There she was treated with respect and compassion, choosing to keep all three of her babies. Today we are celebrating Alisse’s triplets’ 5th Birthday (Hailey, Joseph, and Phillip). Many accolades to the team at Sunnybrook’s Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) that made this possible.

Parents of Preemie babies are made to feel like they are part of the team, with the doctors and nurses at Sunnybrook’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). They create a sense of community, where parents feel completely supported by their Sunnybrook family, who is always there for them. They make friends for life here, because of shared experiences. Listen to Julia’s teary recap of how extraordinary her Sunnybrook family is…
